I think that doesn't lessen the chance Willie will get an answer to his question.

Willie cheer up! As long new accounts can be regged there is hope your question will be answered. (An age after hell freezes over)

Hell freezing over? Try this one.......

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Yes, Taf. It's about Him. Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith - the faith He gives to believe and the grace and power He gives to live and work through us.

I definitely believe it matters whether we're a Christian/believer or not. That's why Jesus came and what He's doing...drawing all men to Him. When we believe and are converted, He declares us "right" (righteous) and "behold old things are passing away, and all things are becoming new".

V.I.D.

I try to continue in this ,though i have faith not in gods ,but rather try to believe in the good stuff ..love ..fullness ..that we are precious and many other things .I dont like God ,or believe him ,because i dont like in what way he left the earth .

Like father ,like son ? I dont know . I will think about this ,but not now . I am tired today : 3.53 in the morning and need to go to bed . Will write tommorow .

I may be confused, maybe not remembering correctly. But I thought I remembered about a year and a half ago, that you prayed to Jesus with one of the TM members (not sure of details, asking forgiveness, to be saved, placing faith in Him for salvation, etc.), and that you had a miraculous deliverance from some of the chains that held you.

Does it realy matter if you are a christian ,or not?Self righteousness ,or christianity ?Its a truth that some are good in self-righteousness ,because they are good people .

I think the first question that should be asked is "What is a Christian?"Just someone that believes Jesus saves?I think that's part of the answer/defenition.Surely believing is very important in the teachings of Jesus. But Jesus also thaught not to steal and to help the poor.Now imagine Hitler believing in Jesus. And a very caring muslim that whole his life helps people every way he can. But obviously he doesn't believe in Jesus.Now my question is who is a better Chritsian the muslim or Hitler?

1 Timothy 2:3-4 ...God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved...John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...

So being righteous is doing what Jesus likes you to do ? So you become a puppet ?

Yep you become a puppet. But you like being a puppet

Look at it like this.In school there are people to learn. They have to do what the teacher tells them to do.So they all are puppets. Many hate that. Some like to learn. They really like to go to school every day to learn another new thing. Put still they have to be the puppet of the teacher. In movies those students are called nerds.So you have to become a religious nerd VID

Your first idea i realy didnt like . I just never saw people as objects of use,

Good point.Jesus/God doesn't see you as a thing

because they have soul ,think ,hear ,love and much more .. We are not vessels .

Depends what's in that vessel I think. If makes a difference if you are a vessel filled with acid or with gold.

Marriage ? That is an interesting thought ,but i may also choose to be single . But i will think on what you said .

This is not about earthly marriage. But marriage stands for mutual love. Not a thing as you started you mesasge with.

My understanding is, when God gives the faith to believe/trust in Jesus as the Savior for their own life, situation, soul, then the Holy Spirit comes in and starts to work His works of righteousness through a person. No one can either be "bad enough to go to hell", or "good enough to go to heaven".

"...that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved..." Romans 10:9

I've always said, in response to those asking me if I'm a Christian, that that is an exercise I will leave to the reader. The Greek word christianos (Christian) appears in the Bible exactly three times in the entire text (Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16), and in none of the verses is it ever used to say "if you do/believe X, Y, and Z then you are a Christian, otherwise you're not". There is not a terribly heavy weight placed on the term in the Bible, and for good reason - it really matters very little whether other humans think you a Christian; what matters is whether the love of God is in your heart, because it is then that one is born of God and knows God. (1 John 4:7)

So being righteous is doing what Jesus likes you to do ? So you become a puppet ?

I once heard an interpretation of the Ten Commandments that stuck with me ever since then - that person saw them not as instructions, but rather as a promise. That is to say, that we were being told that if we loved God and loved our neighbor (the greatest commandments), then all of those things we will do - not because we're forced to, but because we want to, because we feel compelled to act in that way because we love everyone to such a great degree.

I don't know if this is an accurate interpretation of the actual text, but I do feel that it is nonetheless a true statement. The love of God and the subsequent following of his commandments ought to be a joyous thing, something that you do freely and gladly because you cannot help but be uplifted through the smile and joy on others' faces whenever you have a chance to do so. If it is something that you instead look at apprehensively and grudgingly, then it is a very good bet that either your heart has not yet been completely filled with God's love... or someone has fed you stuff that isn't actually from God.
